don't use the synchronizer :)
i just use the make netlist, load netlist
Leo you are really having more trouble than you ought to
invalid file format sounds *maybe* a little like an old service pack
version trying to read a newer service pack file ?
i still think you may be fighting the access thing too much
although i contributed to some of the PCB footpring naming comments
(just re no spaces) i have many parts over 14 characters and no troubles
ever
i will not be cleaing them up

Hi.
I could use some input: I'm (once again) banging against an impermeable
wall of "Format %x invalid...." and as a result I can no longer
synchronise Sch and Pcb (all I get is an exception error with that weird
description).....
As usual the time pressure is huge, it should be ready at the end of the
day.
Bearing in mind that footprint names should not be longer than 14
characters with no spaces or funny characters (although this problem has
not bothered me until half a year ago) I want to clean up the footprint
names. I'll even go so far as to make my libraries a 'proper' Ddb (still
using the file system approach) to eliminate all problems related with
that...
But..... I have a large number of designs that USE those footprints with
their not-so-good-for-too-long names.
Changing the names in library is easy enough (my libraries are not that
big) and even converting them to MSAccess format is not too difficuilt,
but how do I prevent the existing designs from losing integrity when the
used footprint names no longer exist?
